Knowledge about the world is deemed a core competence to engage in shifting the world to a better place to live. Although the importance of this knowledge is emphasized in several political and educational frameworks, there is still a lack of a definition of the scope of the required knowledge. Looking for a suitable taxonomy about world knowledge for sustainable development we analyzed different approaches in this area-Sustainable Development Goals, Global Citizenship, and Planetary Health-concluded that none of these approaches satisfied the requirements of a knowledge taxonomy and identified a huge amount of overlapping content among these approaches. By merging these frameworks, we developed the (PHK) taxonomy targeting knowledge about the health of the planet, human individuals, human systems, and their interaction. This hierarchical taxonomy exhaustively and disjunctively covers all relevant aspects of PHK in seven domains: , and . We further discuss the existence of in this field, quality criteria for evaluating taxonomies, and possibilities to use the PHK taxonomy.
关于世界的知识被视为推动世界向更宜居之地转变的核心能力。尽管在多个政治和教育框架中都强调了这种知识的重要性，但对于所需知识的范围仍缺乏明确的定义。为了寻找适用于可持续发展的世界知识分类法，我们分析了该领域的不同方法——可持续发展目标、全球公民意识和行星健康，得出结论：这些方法都不符合知识分类法的要求，并且发现这些方法之间存在大量重叠内容。通过合并这些框架，我们开发了行星健康知识（PHK）分类法，其目标是关于地球健康、人类个体、人类系统及其相互作用的知识。这种分层分类法详尽且相互排斥地涵盖了PHK在七个领域的所有相关方面： ，以及 。我们进一步讨论了该领域中 的存在、评估分类法的质量标准以及使用PHK分类法的可能性。
